Desktop and two laptops won't work with modem & router now
I have a Westell 6100f modem and a Cisco Linksys Router. Best Buy set it all up. Modem goes into router - ethernet cord from router to my
main computer - two laptops connected wirelessly. Everything worked fine until I unplugged the ethernet cord from my computer and the router the other day to replace with a new shorter E cord. Since then, I cannot get them all to work at the same time. Plugged in the way it was, both laptops work. To get my desktop on line now, I have to plug the ethernet cord straight into the modem and my desktop and then my laptops don't work. I have
verified the modem works, the router works and all cables and phone cords work. The modem and router are about 2 months old. Running Windows Xp and MacProbook. Can you please tell me what to reset or how to fix this problem?

Probably you used the wrong type of ethernet cable, a crossover one. Try another Ethernet cable but this time a straight one.
